Amazing food. We had the lunch special. The Tom Kha soup is amazing, as is the crispy basil chicken with fat soft noodles made in chinatown. It does not disappoint. We were there

Great food and value for money! We ordered a pad Thai and a pad sew, good portion and really tasty. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the sauce flavourful.Both dishes were at only $12 for a significant portion.Service was quick and nice.Would definitely go back for a quick and tasty lunch.

Pad Thai was lacking - overcooked, not enough sauce, and very little tofu. It tasted like it was something from a can.

Ordered through GrubHub based on good reviews. Ordered arrived incorrectly. My GH receipt had 4 items. Their receipt had 3 but 2 orders of Thai Beef Salad. I also ordered curry, but apparently, they don't include rice. Or mention they don't include it. It wasn't offered as an add-on to my curry. They offered MY wings, which were ok at best. Sauce was good, but the chicken was overcooked. I called the restaurant and told them I was missing the item and was disappointed my curry didn't have rice or option for it and was offered an "sorry man."" How about maybe offering to bring me the correct order or offering some rice. I'm not in the restaurant, so I can't just ask my server to grab some. Instead, I'm left with reliving it on Google to warn others. It would have been easy to make my day, but instead, I get to drink my curry and not get any noodles. I was hoping the beef salad would save things but again. Just ok. No char on the meat. Barely spicy. I asked for 8 of 10. It's maybe a 4. I wish I had more pleasant things to say, but today they didn't earn it.Do betterTom

This place used to be Michelin rated 15 or 20yrs ago, but unfortunately it went downhill. It's OK, certainly not bad, but not great anymore. Slightly small portions these days.

Big fan of Modern Thai on Polk St! I've taken two good college friends here and we always have a blast. It's a good location walking-distance to a few concert venues and bars. They have a pretty good takeout business but I've only eaten inside.Would recommend the pad thai, beef noodle soup (and other soups--very good broth and a nice amount of meat!), fresh spring rolls (especially with shrimp!), and Thai Iced Tea!Service is prompt and fun.

Had a really great dinner and time at this restaurant. The food was so good, we came back twice in two days. Absolutely delicious, both the food and the drinks. I especially loved the Lemonade Thai Iced Tea and the Crispy Fried chicken. Plus our waiter was incredibly nice. We are not from the area but I hope we will be back one day!

Good Thai food in the neighborhood. Friendly staff. Good portion sizes too. Lately we order take out and they were prompt when I'm outside double parked. Lol

Good service and welcoming atmosphere. The food was very tasty, but quite small portions on the curries for the price.
